Java Programming, Comprehensive

Java is the premier development language for Web servers, enterprise servers, network applications, embedded devices, appliances and wireless applications. Java is also an excellent language for manipulating XML data. This course not only covers the Java fundamentals, including basic language syntax, constructs, and the development environment, but also extends to the Java platform, including client/server communication, and managing XML data.

The course begins with Java's implementation of object-oriented concepts such as classes, data and function access control, and inheritance. Language syntax and constructs are thoroughly explained. In addition to learning the fundamentals, students will build graphical user interfaces and program in the Java event-handling model. Additional topics include the Java class library, collection frameworks, Internet communication, input/output programming, multithreaded programming, and XML data manipulation.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to write, maintain and debug applications; make effective use of some of the standard packages; and write object-oriented code using encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. This course provides the foundation for professional java programming.
